It can’t be cured, but it CAN be prevented. Dear John, Over 6 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease. Julia, one of my patients, was one of them. With her, it started as small glitches. Mental fogging. Difficulty focusing. She’d lose stuff all the time. She repeated the same questions. You know how stressful that is for you, the daughter, son, significant other, or caregiver. Then the dreaded diagnosis came. The disease tensed its grip. She became combative, argumentative– Julia became someone else. Friends and even family stopped dropping in. They couldn’t bear to see her losing her mind. They feared seeing her lose her dignity. Her family did their best to accept her in spite of her anger, her outbursts, her illness. But if Julia wasn’t wife, mother, granny anymore, who was she? Alzheimer’s robbed her of everything that made her the woman she was. Despite billions spent on R&D, Big Pharma doesn’t have a cure for Alzheimer’s. It may never find one. But we already have something much better. A way to prevent Alzheimer’s. Over nearly three decades we’ve painstakingly proved, at the highest scientific fora and in the most prestigious medical journals, that our 4 Pillars of Prevention® actually work. And with your support this #GivingTuesday, we’ll continue showing researchers, doctors, and ordinary folks how to defend the brain against Alzheimer’s. Please remember us in your Giving Tuesday gifts. $100, $250, $500, or any amount you give will be a boon for preventing Alzheimer’s, keeping memories alive, and aging with grace. We all yearn for the day when Alzheimer’s can no longer rob us the way it robbed Julia and her family. With your help, we’re one day closer. Thank you for your generous support.
